4Be Part of Large Paintings and Installations for a Spatial Experience

Painting for N. S. Harsha is not confined to the canvas but extends to walls and floors, on the ground in parks, and the roofs of temples. Occasionally viewers are encouraged to enter a work, and interact with it for a spatial experience.
In the installation Sky Gazers (2010), the floor is covered in a sea of human faces, their gaze directed fixedly at the sky. When the visitor looks upward in the same direction, he or she joins the crowd to become part of the star-filled firmament: an intriguing opportunity to put yourself right in a picture and contemplate where you are, and where the world is heading.
